Even tho the weather was a overcast and a little drizzly on our day tour we still thoroughly enjoyed our day and visit to the Daintree area. Our guide was Darryl who was very informative and kept us entertained the whole day! The tour provided us with a great overview of the area for our first visit to this part of Australia. We would highly recommend this tour to first timers to the area.

wow !! Such a great trip with very knowledgable Paul (meatloaf) & enthusiastic, very helpful young Elliot who were our tour guides. Elliott was great help to us 'oldies' on the walks & had great concern for all the members of the group (young & old)..we had to change our itinerary around abit because of Anzac Day holiday & some were dissapointed as they couldn't go on the optional flight..but it meant we could see & do other things along the way E.g, visit the war cemetary at Adelaide River !! The standing tents were clean & functional -although the ones at Litchfield Park were fairly open & we had a very cold night with only 1 blanket supplied for 2 in a twin share!! but the other two nights were more comfortable... My advice for others going on this tour is to rug up at Litchfield & to take a bath towel along with your beach towel -as only the camp at Katherine supplied one!! The camp kitchens were such fun with the group helping with preparing food & cleaning up ...everyone got on really well & Kakadu National park was spectacular!!
